  10. Congratulations! I’m just a little surprised that there’s another woman on the cover, did she take part in the shoot? Did she agree to be on the cover? I’m sorry to bother you with this detail, but as a Parisian, I can’t stand it when people take photos of us and post them on social networks…

    • Hi Ma,

      Yes, this is Hana and we spoke with her before the shoot and she agreed to be a part of the photograph. We wouldn’t have been able to publish a cover without her permission. I appreciate your concern. Best wishes to you xo
